25 Factors Affecting Business Valuation

Utility, Sustainability, and Scalability

There is no math or accounting formula available that pertains to a business valuation on utility, sustainability and scalability. A raw experience-based estimate of value is part of our unique methodology. As part of our methodology, we have a multi-page utility, sustainability and scalability position paper to explain how utility, sustainability, and scalability affect the value of a business.

These are the questions an entrepreneurial business valuator will be able to identify, measure, weigh, and value.

• What is the utility of the products or services provided by the subject business?
• What is the sustainability of the products and services provided?
• What is the scalability of the products and services?

With enough relevant entrepreneurial business experience, these questions can be identified, addressed, and measured in our valuations to find “fair market value" as required by the Canada Income Tax Act Policy Paper.
